BARTEYES II -- The sequel-------------------------

BARTEYES II is pretty much the same as the original BARTEYES except forthe addition of digital sound. BARTEYES II is a mouse tracker and screensaver program. Digital sound was added after I received a copy ofDSOUND.DLL which is part of SOUNDER 2.0: Digitalized Sound Player forWindows 3.0 from Aaron Wallace. SOUNDER is a great program --Download it if you have the chance!

The above does not apply if you have registered previous versions of eitherprogram.

[Excerpted from SOUNDER.WRI]...

Before trying to play a sound, it is necessary to set a few parametersusing the DSOUND Control Panel especially if you are using 386Enhanced mode. The correct values for the parameters will dependon which mode you are running Windows in. Note that they must beset for each mode you plan to use while Windows is in that mode.

The DSOUND Control Panel will tell you which mode you'recurrently running in. Also verify that the DSOUND version is 2.0.The Control Panel will not work with DSOUND.DLL 1.0 (shippedwith Sounder 1.0).

If you are in Real or Standard mode, initially set the volume to 10(use the slider above it) and check the Use Timer box. Press the Testbutton. Adjust the volume to your liking (note that the volume ofindividual sounds can be set as well; the test sound is a "typical"sound). If the sound has a lot of static, sounds unrecognizable, orotherwise is not Bart saying, "Oh, come on, I'll cheer you up," it maybe necessary to use a delay value instead of the timer as explainedfor 386 Enhanced mode.

If you are in 386 Enhanced Mode, the Set Timer box will be grayed.It will be necessary to set a delay value that is specific to yourmachine and hardware. DSOUND cannot figure this out on its owndue to limitations of 386 Enhanced mode. 16 works well with a386sx-20. Use the Test sound to determine if the tempo of theplayback is correct. If the sound plays back too quickly, bump upthe delay value; if it's too slow, bump the delay down. Adjust thevolume to your liking.
